A former US
police officer with nine guns stashed in his car, including a Colt AR-15
and a loaded Kalashnikov assault rifle, was arrested outside the White
House Sunday after telling the Secret Service he was en route to see the
NSA director and secretary of defense for advice about removing a chip
that he alleged was planted in his head.

According
to court records, Timothy J. Bates, 37, of Tennessee was detained
on weapons charges after telling Secret Service officials he had weapons
in his 2009 Nissan sports car near the intersection of Pennsylvania
Avenue NW and 17th Street. The suspect was handcuffed at approximately
7:15 a.m. after he attempted to urinate in public.

Bates explained to officers that he was part
of the CIA’s decades-long, secret MK Ultra program, which led to the
former Memphis police officer receiving a chip in his brain, according
to the arrest affidavit. Bates added that he hoped Defense Secretary
James Mattis and NSA Director Adm. Mike Rogers would be able to shed
some light on alleged "missing paychecks" he was to receive for his
participation in the program.
